Bletchley, what do you think about Trumps comments on EU troops, and by extension the Australian troops who have supported their campaigns in the middle east and died as a result?

Do you think they are accurate?
Do you find them disgusting?
Do you think it is another example of him talking complete sloblocks?

He`ll need to check what the guys on the MAGA Discord group say and get back to you.

In the meantime, be assured that Trump is the best, probably the greatest leader, I think, to have ever graced this Earth, which was made by great Americans by the way. People forget that. Without the USA there would be no Earth because God was a Republican, you know?

Trump gets worse every day, you cannot trust one word he says. There is no way he will keep his word on Greenland and other areas.


He forgets one day to the next what he said.

I do think the doctors better take have a look at him before he presses a nuke button by accident

Speculation regarding Donald Trump`s mental fitness, cognitive health, and potential dementia has been a subject of intense public and professional debate throughout his 2024 campaign and into his second term in 2025–2026. Concerns have been raised by political opponents, some mental health professionals, and former associates, while Trump and his supporters have vehemently denied these claims, often citing high scores on cognitive tests.

Here is a breakdown of the information available as of early 2026:

Allegations and Observations
Signs of Cognitive Decline: Critics, including some doctors, have argued that Trump shows indicators often associated with dementia, such as increased reliance on superlatives, phonemic paraphasia (using sounds in place of words, e.g., "mishes" for missiles), and difficulty finishing thoughts.

Rambling and Confusion:
Reports from 2025–2026 have noted long, rambling, and at times incoherent speeches, such as a 99-minute address to Congress in March 2025 or a 2026 press conference where he was described as focusing on "insanity" and "rambling".

Paranoia and Behavior:
Some experts have pointed to increased paranoia, anger, and erratic decision-making—such as demands for investigations into minor inconveniences—as signs of potential frontotemporal dementia.

Memory Issues:
There have been reported instances of Trump confusing historical facts, such as a story about his uncle and the Unabomber in 2025, or appearing unable to recognize people he recently met.

Expert Commentary:
Dr. John Gartner, a psychologist, has argued that Trump is showing "unmistakable signs strongly suggesting dementia," noting a significant deterioration from his earlier, more articulate speaking style in the 1980s. Former White House attorney Ty Cobb has also claimed there is a "significant decline" in Trump`s mental faculties, calling it "palpable".

Defenses and Contrary Evidence

Cognitive Tests:
Trump has repeatedly claimed to have "aced" the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), a test designed to detect early signs of dementia. In April 2025, he stated he "got every answer right" on a cognitive exam during a physical.

Official Health Reports:
In April 2025, the White House released results of a physical and cognitive assessment concluding that Trump was in "excellent health" and "fully fit" to serve as president.

Supporter Perspective:
Supporters and some observers argue that his communication style is not a sign of dementia but rather his typical, consistent, and "unconventional" approach to public speaking.
"Sanewashing" Debate: Some argue that media outlets "sanewash" Trump`s speeches, recontextualizing erratic, rambling, or incoherent remarks to make them seem more coherent than they are.

Contextual Factors

Age: As of early 2026, Trump is 79, making his mental health a natural point of discussion, similar to that of his predecessor, Joe Biden.

The Goldwater Rule: Many psychiatrists hesitate to make a formal diagnosis, as the American Psychiatric Association’s "Goldwater Rule" advises against diagnosing public figures without a personal examination.

Dementia vs. Personality: Some argue that the behaviors identified are not new and are a continuation of his established narcissistic personality rather than progressive, organic brain disease.

I can only apologise to Donald if any of these facts from Google are incorrect, from my viewpoint they do seem accurate as his varied statements over the last few months

I`m not sure the incoherent ramblings are anything new. He`s a failed businessman who idiots think is helping them.

Farage is just the Wish version of him. Another rich cretin who gets followed by knobends.

Even Starmer seems to have lost patience with him now. Trump really is a poor excuse for a human being.

Hilarious boo-boo by The White House press office on X. They have posted an AI image of Trump walking off into the snow with a penguin and a Greenland flag. Clearly another attempt to troll the Europeans. Only problem is, penguins don’t live in Greenland. Their home is in the southern hemisphere. 😁

They actually tried to introduce Penguins to Norway in the 1930’s. It didn’t work.
